25.01.2022 We have so enjoyed working with these lovely humans at The National Trust of Western Australia to develop their Aboriginal Consultation and Engagement Framework for Noongar Boodja. Today we undertook training with them in how to use it to achieve positive outcomes in telling the stories of Nyungar people, culture and heritage at their places. We commend them on their commitment to this process. #noongarboodja #noongarculture #noongarheritage #heritage #nationaltrustofwesterenaustralia

23.01.2022 Just LOVE bumping into moort (family) at work events. Which is what happened in Bunbury last night, with our deadly cousin Gavin (Possum) McGuire of Koormal Contracting. Need plumbing work done in the south west? Call these guys. #indigenousbusiness #noongarbusiness #smallbusiness #noongarboodja #southwestisbest #family

20.01.2022 Finance can be fun! No I did not stutter. Especially when it’s about financial resilience with this firecracker. It’s not often you meet an accountant with a sense of humour, but Simona Hughes, Founder and Managing Director of Financial Utilities Pty Ltd, certainly fits that bill.... Seriously though, last week's workshop was the BEST training in finance I’ve ever attended. No punches pulled, no bushes beaten around, no if you dream it, it will just happen platitudes given. Just useful advice and practical tools to make the advice happen. Thanks to the Agristart CONNECT Regional Innovation Hub crew for a fantastic workshop. #financematters #financeisfun #setupforsuccess #smallbusiness #smallbusinesssupport
20.01.2022 What a great night last night was, at the @agristart_aus #regionalshowcase at the Perth Town Hall! It was such a wonderful opportunity for us to network and share about our business and what it means to us to be in a position to advocate for culture, community and the environment. And becoming friends with such gorgeous people from around the south west, doing amazing things, like Em from @indian_ocean_sea_vegetables, Brooke Thomas and Claire from @leafiehealth #smallbusiness #southwestisbest

14.01.2022 Happy NAIDOC Week everyone! #alwayswasalwayswillbe #NAIDOC2020 #NAIDOCWeek2020 https://www.naidoc.org.au/
13.01.2022 Well it’s been a bloody hot week in Whadjuk Country! Bunuru is living up to its name as the warmest time of year in Nyungar Boodja, that’s for sure. It certainly inspired this piece of smoking hot artwork by our very own Bill Bennell at our favourite school in Perth Sir David Brand School in Coolbinia. We had another wonderful experience this week with the staff and students here. We can’t express just how incredible they all are and we are so happy to be able to create this entrance feature mural for them. Enjoy! #artinschools #cultureinschools #perthschools #sirdavidbrandschool #whadjuk #whadjukboodja #whadjukcountry

12.01.2022 Check out this beautiful Margaret River art gallery, bringing amazing artwork from Aboriginal artists around Australia to Nyungar boodja! They were closed due to COVID19 restrictions, but they're back! A great day trip for we locals, or something for the visitors to add to the weekend trip to the south west. #indigenousart #southwestisbest https://www.facebook.com/binamayagallery
11.01.2022 What a year it has been! We know that a lot of people will say that 2020 can take a hike, but so much great stuff has happened for us this year. We got married, Nerilee’s mum kicked cancer’s arse, our beautiful granddaughter was born, we have had so much family time and added the cutest lil fur baby to that family. AND Kooyar Wongi is going from strength to strength. Thank you all so, so, SO much for your support and encouragement for our business. Happy new year to you all and we hope 2021 is a great one for you. #smallbusiness #indigenousbusiness #aboriginalbusiness #southwestisbest #nyungarboodja

07.01.2022 It was National Threatened Species day yesterday. Usually not a day we like to spend too much time thinking about, as the list of threatened species in Australia is depressingly long. But today we saw this post and couldn’t resist sharing this news from the ACT! The very talented artist Leonie Maia is Nerilee’s Aunty and we are so chuffed for her at this much-deserved recognition. This piece is one of her many creations depicting the beauty of Australia and Australian life. Well done! #NationalThreatenedSpeciesDay

05.01.2022 Last night was another great experience through the agristart South West CONNECT Innovation Hub 6-month training program, with the South West Pitch Night in our very own Busselton at the newly opened and very cool Shelter Brewing Co. It was a pleasure and privilege to be able to represent and celebrate Aboriginal business success during NAIDOC week. #naidocweek #naidocweek2020 #naidoc2020 #alwayswasalwayswillbe

05.01.2022 We had a fantastic day today facilitating a training workshop for The National Trust of Western Australia staff about consultation and engagement with Nyungar people. One of the highlights was Aunty Marie Taylor’s incredibly moving and insightful welcome to country and the other was the delicious morning tea provided by the lovely and talented Dale Tilbrook of Gather Foods. #noongarcountry #noongarbusiness #noongarbushfoods #heritage #nationaltrustofwesterenaustralia

04.01.2022 It's the first day of Bunuru! We know things are a little topsy-turvy at the moment across WA and we may not be able to get out into nature as much as we'd like this week, but we still wanted to take a moment to celebrate our beautiful Nyungar Boodja. She's pretty darn special. #nyungarboodja https://www.kooyarwongi.com.au/its-getting-hot-in-heeerrrr/

01.01.2022 OK, so this news is super exciting! Last week we chatted with the incredible businesswoman and all round moorditj yorga Elsa Mitchell, as part of her kick arse podcast Bossy Bitch.

01.01.2022 It’s moorditj to see Uncly Euey talking about the great work he’s been doing with Greening Australia as part of the amazing Gondwana Link corridor project.
